I defended my thesis "Hierarchical Scheduling and Utility Disturbance Management in the Process Industry" on October 11, 2013. My research interests include process control, planning, scheduling, and disturbance management within the process industry. The research project "Hierarchical scheduling and utility disturbance management" is a part of the Process Industry Centre, which is a collaboration between Lund University, Linköping University, and several industrial partners from the Swedish process industry.
